Since 1991, when Najib was appointed Defence Minister, Rosmah’s reputation for arrogance and lavish lifestyle has also begun to spread. She has a passion for high-end jewelry and is said to have threatened to close a jewelry store, forcing them to give her a piece worth tens of thousands of RM.

In 2011, she was rumored to have imported a $24 million diamond ring from a jeweler in New York, USA. The amount of money was so large that it shocked most Malaysians, but it is not difficult to understand when looking at Rosmah's massive collection of Hermes Birkin bags.

She has at least a dozen bags of the same model but in different colors from the French luxury brand.. Each piece is estimated to fetch a minimum of $150,000, with the total value of the collection estimated to be over one million dollars.

While the first lady's lavish lifestyle has outraged Malaysians, she has claimed that she used her savings to satisfy her shopping needs.

“I bought some jewellery and dresses with my own money. What’s wrong with that?” Rosmah said in her 2013 biography, which explained the scandal involving a million-dollar ring and the fact that the wife of a prime minister was often given expensive gifts instead of buying them herself.
